    Climate control lights and changing the colour of dash bulbs

    I think I'll leave the minor bulbs alone to be honest, as well as the radio. I'll try the dash and interior lights first and see how I get on I think. I've a headlight restorer kit coming this week as the plastic has yellowed and looks terrible. Thanks for all the tips and links again. I'll post...

    Climate control lights and changing the colour of dash bulbs

    Absolutely fantasia post there mate! You're a star :-) I'll be getting myself some of these. The switches have blue lights as well? Or is that just one bulb? Looks fantastic I have to say. I realised today just how many orange lights there are. Window switches, radio etc! I think I'll do it in...

    Climate control lights and changing the colour of dash bulbs

    Thanks again for all the top information! I've had the climate unit apart before and the bulbs are easy to change. I imagine the radio ones are similar to be honest. So have you not managed to change the odometer lights then? I do love how your dials look and I hope it's as easy for me to do...

    Climate control lights and changing the colour of dash bulbs

    Hi MedicalFlyer thanks for such a comprehensive answer. So its the bulbs themselves that give the colour then? Did you change the radio and climate bulbs as well then?

    Climate control lights and changing the colour of dash bulbs

    Hi everyone. My climate control back light isn't working. I've tried replacing the bulbs but still no joy. Any ideas on if/how this could be fixed? Also is it possible to change to colour of the cluster back lights? Many thanks. Matt

    Accord mk6 A/C issues.

    Update for anyone who wants to know. It's the discharge hose from the condenser to the condenser. Leaking from a crimped fitting. Going to get a second d hand one and hope that doesn't leak as well!

    Leaking air conditioning hose replace or refurbish?

    Hi guys. I called honda. £99 for a new hose. Not as bad as I thought but it's still probably 25% of the value of the car. I could buy a whole car for parts for £150! Lol.

    Leaking air conditioning hose replace or refurbish?

    Yes i imagine that honda could probably source the part but it would probably cist more than the car! Lol. It's worth asking though I suppose. Thanks guys

The car only cost me £450 and I've sepent that again on parts since then having replaced all of the front suspension components, apart from struts. Starting to feel...

    Accord mk6 A/C issues.

    So another update. It's been 2 weeks since I had it gassed. It's not not cold anymore. I appear to have a slow leak. It's still working just not as well. I'm disappointed to say the least. Going to get a uv lamp to find the culprit hopefully and get it sorted again.
